Domestic Short Hair Cats Available for Adoption in Jarrettsville, Maryland

GI Joe is a 2.5-month-old orange tabby with endless energy and a big personality to match. This playful guy is usually the first to start a wrestling match, chase after toys, or investigate whatever chaos is happening nearby.

As active as he is, GI Joe also has a super affectionate side. Once he's tired himself out, he's all about cuddles and curling up close for naps.

GI Joe would love to be adopted with his brother Frisbee, but if adopted separately, he'll need another playful furry friend in the home to keep up with him.

If you're looking for a hilarious, outgoing kitten who keeps life entertaining, GI Joe is your guy.
